In creating “Star Wars,” George Lucas hired Ben Burtt to develop the sound effects that transformed cinema. Burtt crafted iconic sounds, like the lightsaber’s hum from a film projector and TV buzz, Chewbacca’s voice from various animals, and R2-D2’s beeps using his own voice. The TIE fighter roar combined an elephant call with a car on wet pavement, setting a new industry standard. | History In Pictures
